The OSGeo incubation graduation criteria defines:<br>
"Marketing material has been created about the project for the
OSGeo Marketing Committee." [1]<br>
However, to date, OSGeo marketing requirements have been fairly
vague.<br>
<br>
I propose that we address this by providing a detailed set of
Marketing Artefacts that are required by OSGeo which is referenced
during the incubation process.<br>
I've defined a proposed set of marketing requirements which I've
copied below, and is on the wiki [2] <br>
<br>
I'm hoping to hear feedback on this proposal, and then to formalise
it into the OSGeo Incubation process.<br>
When responding to this email thread, please only CC the incubator
email list. <br>
<br>
Key things to note:<br>
* "Project Overviews" are proposed to be required for all projects
and "Quickstarts" to be required for all applications (Quickstarts
don't make sense for libraries). <br>
<br>
* All applications available on linux are proposed to be required to
be included in the OSGeo-Live distribution [3].<br>
<br>
* While not stated, I see there being an expectation that all OSGeo
projects maintain their marketing material, which will be reviewed
every 6 months during the OSGeo-Live build process.<br>
